For months now, no matter how much I clean out my /usr/local and ports stuff and rebuild from scratch, the py-wxPython port never works on this system. From what Christopher said, it must be a configuration problem somewhere, but I have no idea where to look. I've tried installing various iconv ports to no avail. I've deinstalled all ports, wiped out my /usr/local directory, deleted /usr/ports and /usr/src, cvsupd a new source and ports tree, rebuilt the system, and installed the ports again, but the same problem occurs. I would have submitted a PR had I not read that Christopher had two systems, on one of which the port worked. Also, were the problem more widespread, I could not imagine it not having already had a PR opened. Any ideas? To Christopher I ask: Have you figured it out yet, or fixed it, or heard anything useful from anyone? Aaron out.
